San Juan, PUERTO RICO – March 18, 2021 -Angel Fierrorose from the canvas twice en route to a stunning comeback knockout win in the sixth round against former world championAlberto Machadoas the latest chapter of the iconic Puerto Rico vs. Mexico ring rivalry was written in the Ring City USA main event, live on NBC Sports Network from Albergue Olimpico (Olympic Center) in Salinas, Puerto Rico.

Tijuana’s Fierro (18-1-1, 14 KOS) handed Machado (22-3, 18 KOS) of Rio Piedras his first professional loss in Puerto Rico, following a hot start from the former junior lightweight world champion. Machado, 30, scored a knockdown in each of the first two rounds with well-placed right-hand counter punches. Fierro displayed a durable chin and beat the count easily both times, signaling that he was not hurt by the crunching power punches. Fierro was down 48-45 on all three judges’ scorecards at the time of the stoppage.

“I’m happy, I faced a top-notch fighter tonight in Alberto Machado,” said Fierro, who was a three-to-one underdog. “He is world class and dropped me twice. But I am ecstatic that I was able to come back and beat a fighter of his caliber.”

The 22-year-old lightweight turned the fight around in the fourth round as he dedicated himself to a vicious body attack against Machado. The body work paid dividends as he found openings throughout the fifth and sixth round, ultimately leading to a vicious left hand that sent the former titlist to the canvas for the first and only time in the fight. Fierro credited finding his second wind to his two-year-old daughter back in Mexico.

“He dropped me twice in the beginning of the fight,” added Fierro. “When I got back to my corner, I told them, ‘remind me of my daughter.’ Because with this fight I can change her life and that’s exactly what they did after the third round. They motivated me and that’s exactly what I did.”

Prior to the fight, Fierro told the Ring City USA broadcast team, “the best judge is a knockout when you’re fighting in someone else’s hometown.” The Mexican warrior, who replaced undefeated prospect Hector Tanajara on one week’s notice, delivered on his promise to take matters into his own hands.

“We found a lot of gaps in Machado’s game in the sixth round,” stated Fierro. “I took advantage of them and I turned it around. I told you in the interview (før kampen), I didn’t come here to be a tourist in Puerto Rico. I came here to win.”

Immediately preceding the main event, IrlandsJoe Ward (3-1, 2 KOS) avenged his only professional loss with a dominating unanimous decision victory overMarco Delgado(7-2, 5 KOS) in their six-round light heavyweight tilt. I oktober 2019, the 15-time Irish National Champion Ward faced Delgado in his professional debut and suffered a dislocated kneecap which led to a technical knockout victory for the Turlock, Calif. indfødte. Under the tutelage of two-division world champion Joey Gamache, the 29-year-old Ward displayed his spectacular amateur pedigree as he attempts to fast-track his pro career.

In the second fight of the telecast, Alma Ibarra (7-1, 4 KOS) earned a hard-fought unanimous decision overMaricela Cornejo (13-4, 5 KOS) in an eight-round middleweight fight. Two of the ringside judges scored seven rounds for Ibarra (79-73) while the third saw it 77-75 for the winner. Ibarra, who hails from Monterrey, Mexico, brought the fight to the Los Angeles native throughout the fight and was the far busier fighter.

“Now the world knows who Alma Ibarra is and what she is made of,” said the victor. “To everyone, I was a stranger. And to fight against someone who is very recognized worldwide in Maricela Cornejo and beat her, this opened many doors for us.”

Ibarra, 32, returned from a 16-month layoff following her first professional defeat against Raquel Miller in 2019. Ibarra, who had a successful amateur career, looked comfortable as she commanded the ring against the seasoned professional in 33-year-old Cornejo. Ibarra, a natural welterweight, was fighting at the heaviest weight of her career (156 lbs.).

“I felt very good, meget stærk, as this is a division that I am not used to,” said Ibarra. “I always fight in lower divisions, we had to go up two divisions to take this great opportunity, and well, I think we were not wrong to take this risk.”

I aftenens co-main event, which kicked off the four-fight main card on NBC Sports Network, Jose “Chiquiro” Martinez(21-1-3, 14 KOS) of Mayaguez, P.S. ogIsrael Gonzalez (26-4-1, 11 KOS) of Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, fought to a majority draw in their 10-round bantamweight affair. While one ringside judge gave Gonzalez, 24, the edge on the scorecards (96-94), the remaining two judges scored it identically at 95-95. Ring City’s unofficial scorer Steve Smoger had Gonzalez edging the hometown fighter 97-93.

“I felt his punches, but I was the superior fighter tonight,"Sagde Gonzalez. “He might have won three rounds but it’s OK. I’m thankful to Puerto Rico and all of the people that gave me an opportunity to be here.”

The 28-year-old Martinez did his best work on the inside as he attempted to neutralize the five-inch reach advantage of the younger Gonzalez and led on two of the scorecards through the midway point of the fight. I mellemtiden, Gonzalez flashed excellent hand speed in the back-and-forth affair and stole many of the later rounds when he found his second wind. This marked the third draw for Martinez over his last seven fights and the first for Gonzalez.

“I feel happy, satisfied with the work I did,” said Martinez. “I understand that I was fighting against a strong opponent and that I won. I pushed more. I was on top of him, but these things happen in boxing. Now it’s a matter of continuing to train, maintain myself and seek that title opportunity.”

Following the co-main event between Martinez and Gonzalez, Ring City USA paid tribute to the late Marvelous Marvin Hagler, who died at the age of 66 på lørdag. A member of the International Boxing Hall of Fame, Hagler reigned as the undisputed middleweight champion for several years and participated in several classic bouts in the 1980s.

“The beautiful part of Marvelous Marvin Hagler, if you had the chance to be around him, is that he was authentic,” said blow-by-blow announcer Bob Papa. “Just as he was in the ring was how he treated you outside of the ring. He is truly one of the greatest champions of all time.”

Earlier in the evening, live on Twitch in the U.S. og resten af ​​verden, Angel Acosta (22-2, 21 KOS) of Barrio Obrero Santurce, Puerto Rico, earned a victory on the scorecards for the first time in his professional career, tjener en enstemmig beslutning i løbet afGilberto mendoza (17-10-3, 8 KOS) of Baja California, Mexico, in an eight-round super flyweight fight. Fighting in his hometown of Salinas, Edwin Valentin(10-0, 9 KOS) remained perfect with a fifth-round technical knockout victory over fellow Puerto RicanHector Marengo(7-15-4, 4 KOS). In the opening fight of the evening, Jose Roman (11-0, 5 KOS) af Bayamon, Puerto Rico, bestedRoque Junco(10-8-1, 6 KOS) via unanimous decision in an eight-round welterweight fight.

SUPER WELTERWEIGHTS SERHII BOHACHUK OG BRANDON ADAMS CLASH I MARS 4 VIGTIGSTE BEGIVENHED, NÅR FØRRENDE WORLD CHAMPION ALBERTO MACHADO TAGER HECTOR TANAJARA I MARS 18 MAIN EVENT

Ring City USA begivenheder vil flyve torsdag aften kl 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT på NBCSN i USA og Streaming Around the World på Twitch 

Los Angeles - januar 29, 2021 - Ring City USA, den nye sportsmediestart, der debuterede sin torsdag aften bokseserie i november 2020 på NBC Sports Network, meddelte i dag de to første begivenheder i 2021 afholdes torsdag, Marts 4 og torsdag, Marts 18, live fra Puerto Rico.

Hele kortet vil være tilgængeligt på Twitch uden for USA.

Tilbagevenden til Ring City USA har to stærkt konkurrencedygtige matchups med krigere på unikke tidspunkt i deres professionelle boksekarriere. On marts 4, ubesejret blå-chip stigende stjerneSerhii Bohachuk (18-0, 18 KOS) møder tidligere mellemvægt titel udfordrerBrandon Adams (22-3, 13 KOS) i en 10-runde super weltervægt hovedbegivenhed. To uger senere i marts 18, Ring City præsenterer det næste kapitel i Puerto Rico vs.. Mexico ring rivalisering, når tidligere super fjervægt verdens titlisteAlberto Machado(22-2, 18 KOS) står over for ubesejrede udsigter Hector Tanajara(19-0, 5 KOS) i en 10-runde letvægts hovedbegivenhed. Ring Citys begivenheder i marts sendes direkte fra Puerto Rico, da virksomheden fortsætter med at udnytte boksens rige historiske placeringer.

Kampen mellem Bohachuk og Adams var oprindeligt planlagt til toppen i december 3 Ring City-begivenhed på Wild Card Boxing Club i Los Angeles, men Bohachuk blev tvunget til at trække sig tilbage efter at have testet positivt for COVID-19.

”Vi er begejstrede for at starte 2021 med to vejkryds hovedkampe kampe i Puerto Rico,”Sagde chef for boksning Evan Rutkowski. ”Serhii Bohachuk har chompet for at komme tilbage i ringen og i marts 4 han vil møde den farligste modstander i sin karriere i Brandon Adams. Så to uger senere er vi lige tilbage på NBC Sports Network og Twitch med stigende ubesejret udsigten Hector Tanajara, der kæmper med den tidligere verdensmester Alberto Machado fra Puerto Rico i et klassisk Mexico vs.. Puerto Rico-rivaliseringskamp. ”

Den hårdtslående Bohachuk, som i øjeblikket er rangeret syvende af WBC og niende af IBF ved 154 pounds, har damprullet gennem modstand på vej til en 18-0 rekord, som alle er kommet via knockout. Træning med Manny Robles ud af Legends Boxing Academy, den 25-årige beviste sig med en knockout-sejr over Tyrone Brunson i oktober 2019. Senest, han udførte en elektrisk forestilling i september 2020 da han slog Alejandro Davila ud i seks runder. Den ukrainsk-fødte Bohachuk, som forfremmes af Tom Loeffler 360 Kampagner og Ural boksning, fortsætter med at tage den sydlige Californiens bokseverden med storm med sine dominerende forestillinger i ringen og magnetisk personlighed ud af ringen.

”Jeg ser frem til at forsvare min titel mod Brandon Adams i marts 4 i Puerto Rico på NBC Sports Network,”Sagde Bohachuk. ”Jeg vil takke Ring City og mine promotorer for denne mulighed. Dette burde være en stor kamp for fansen. Jeg er ked af, at vi ikke kunne gøre det i december, men nu taler folk endnu mere om denne kamp. Jeg stiller endnu et spændende show til fansen. ”

Efter Bohachuks positive COVID-19 resultat, Adams mødte Sonny Duversonne i Ring Citys hovedbegivenhed den dec. 3. Adams skænkede Duversonne kun få kilometer væk fra sin hjemby Watts, Calif., med en imponerende knockout-sejr i anden runde. Den kamptestede Adams, der arbejder med dygtig træner Dub Huntley, udfordrede WBC mellemvægt titelholder Jermall Charlo om titlen i 2019 efter at have besejret Shane Mosley Jr.. for at vinde Epix Television Series "The Contender." Adams kan prale af en formidabel gruppe af sparringpartnere, inklusive Shawn Porter og Gennadiy Golovkin. Adams startede konkurrencedygtig træning i en alder 19, kæmpede sin første amatørkamp i en alder 20 og blev professionel i alderen 21. Han fremmes af Banner Promotions and Tournament of Contenders.

”Jeg ser frem til at vende tilbage til Ring City i marts og vise mere vækst, når Serhii og jeg endelig kommer ind i ringen i Puerto Rico,”Sagde Adams.

Machado (22-2, 18 KOS), der kommer fra Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico, vil kæmpe på øen for første gang siden 2017 og 14th tid i sin professionelle karriere. I 2017, Machado erobrede WBA's superfjervægt i verdensklasse mod Jezreel Corrales via ottende runde knockout. Machado forsvarede med succes verdensmesterskabet to gange i 2018 inden han mistede bæltet til Andrew Cancio i februar 2019. Senere i 2019, Machado rykkede op til letvægts og scorede en anden runde knockout over Luis Porozo. Den 30-årige er i øjeblikket rangeret 12th af både WBA og WBO. Southpaw gjorde sig bemærket på det Puerto Ricanske amatørkredsløb, konkurrerer i AIBA Youth World Championships og 2012 Olympiske kvalifikationer.

”Det har været en trist og tvungen hvile på grund af Coronavirus men, for mig, min krop havde brug for denne hvile. Jeg er spændt på, at jeg efter fire år vender tilbage for at kæmpe igen hjemme i Puerto Rico,”Sagde Machado. ”Jeg takker Miguel Cotto-kampagner, H2 Kampagner, Golden Boy og Ring City USA for at give mig denne mulighed for at overføre dette fantastiske kort. Hector Tanajara, Jr. er en stor fighter, der også søger at bryde igennem i letvægtsafdelingen. Jeg håber, han kommer klar og det 135 har min plads reddet, fordi jeg hører hjemme her, og den 18. marts demonstreres det. ”

Tanajara (19-0, 5 KOS) vil tage den hårdeste test i sin karriere, når han møder Machado på sit hjemmebane. Født og opvokset i San Antonio, Texas, Tanajara (19-0, 5 KOS) kommer ud af kampene i sin hjemby for første gang i sin professionelle karriere i januar 2020 da han overtog den tidligere verdensudfordrer Juan Carlos Burgos, som han slog overbevisende via enstemmig beslutning. Den 24-årige er fortsat med at stige op i de lette rækker siden han blev proff 2015. I Machado, han vil stå over for en ny udfordring ved at tage på en Southpaw fighter for første gang i sin professionelle karriere med 19 kampe. Tanajara kæmper under vejledning af den verdensberømte træner Robert Garcia.

”Jeg er begejstret for at komme tilbage i ringen,”Sagde Tanajara. ”Det har været lidt over et år, og jeg har trænet hårdt hele tiden med at være klar til den, der er. Vi fik endelig en modstander, og jeg er klar til at vise verden, hvem jeg er, og hvad jeg kan gøre med de bedste fyre i divisionen. ”

Opkald til hele handlingssiden i Puerto Rico vil være den tidligere to-gangs weltervægtsmester Shawn Porter, der får følgeskab af NBC Sports blow-by-blow-kommentator Bob Papa. Brian Campbell vil fungere som kampnatanalytiker med Curran Bhatia rapportering fra ringside.

Fuld kortoplysninger vil blive annonceret på et senere tidspunkt.

PROMOTER DON KING SAYS MACHADO-MENSAH FIGHT HAS BECOME CONVOLUTED, FULL OF INTRIGUE & MACHINATION; WE ARE READY TO FIGHT!

Efterlad en kommentar

Dkp

Deerfield Beach, Fla. (Februar. 9, 2018) – Boxing promoter Don King has been trying to finalize a fight with WBA super featherweight champion Alberto “El Explosivo” Machado for more than two months with his number two contender, Rafael Mensah.

“I’ve been dealing with Robert Diaz of Golden Boy Promotions and he seems to be a forthright person,” said King. “Since the beginning of December they have been telling me we would have an agreement to fight on January 27th after they arranged a meeting with HBO’s Peter Nelson. It has been one story after another story.”

King continued: “I had the one call with Robert Diaz and he never called me back. We kept calling him. We were supposed to go in together to meet with Peter Nelson and they said we would have a 50-50 deal, and I’ve never heard from him. Mensah has been waiting three years for a title opportunity.

“My fighter was set to fight on Jan. 27, which is what we agreed upon. But I never heard back from anyone. They are playing the con game in trying to avoid this fight with Mensah. They are trying to get under the rules and not fight my future champion. The making of the Machado-Mensah fight has become convoluted and full of intrigue and machination. This whole thing has been mysterious. We are ready to fight!"

Mensah, who hails from Ghana, er 31-0 med 23 KOS.
